Decreasing the circuit dimensions is driving the need for low-k materials with a lower dielectric constant to reduce RC delay,
crosstalk, and power consumption. In case of spin-on organosilicate low-k films, the incorporation of a porogen is regarded
as the only foreseeable route to decrease dielectric constant of 2.2 or below by changing a packing density. In this study,
methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)–bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (BTMSE) copolymers that had superior mechanical properties than MSSQ
(methyl-silsesquioxane) were blended with amphiphilic block copolymers used as sacrificial pore generators. While adding up
to 40 wt.% porogen into MTMS:BTMSE = 100:50 matrix, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties were measured and the pore
structure was also characterized by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). The result confirmed that there existed
a tradeoff in attaining the low dielectric constant and desirable mechanical strength, and no more pores than necessary to
achieve the dielectric objective should be incorporated. When the dielectric constant was fixed to approximately 2.3 by controlling
BTMSE and porogen contents simultaneously, the thermo-mechanical properties of the porous films were also investigated for
the comparison purpose. Under the same dielectric constant, the concurrent increase in BTMSE and porogen contents led to improvement
in modulus measured by the nanoindentation technique but deterioration of adhesion strength obtained by the modified edge
lift-off test. 相似文献

Different weight fractions of aluminum (Al) powder viz., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 phr were incorporated into styrene
butadiene rubber (SBR) matrix. The Al powder filled and vulcanized SBR composites have been characterized for mechanical properties
such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and surface hardness. A drastical improvement in tensile strength and tensile modulus
with increase in filler content of the composites was noticed. The electrical properties such as dielectric constant, tan
delta and dielectric loss were measured for all the four compositions. The effect of volume fraction (0–70 phr) of conducting
filler, frequency (100 kHz–30 MHz), temperature (25–75°C) and relative humidity on dielectric constant, dielectric loss and
tan delta values of the composites were studied. 相似文献

The effects of temperature on the fast fracture behavior of aluminum nitride with 5 wt% Y2O3 ceramic were investigated. Four-point flexural strength and fracture toughness were measured in air at several temperatures
(30–1,300 °C). The flexural strength gradually decreased with the increase of temperature up to 1,000 °C due to the change
in the fracture mode from transgranular to intergranular, and then became almost constant up to 1,300 °C. Two main flaw types
as fracture origin were identified: small surface flaw and large pores. The volume fraction of the large pores was only 0.01%;
however, they limited the strength on about 50% of the specimens. The fracture toughness decreased slightly up to 800 °C controlled
by the elastic modulus change, and then decreased significantly at 1,000 °C due to the decrease in the grain-boundary toughness.
Above 1,000 °C, the fracture toughness increased significantly, and at 1,300 °C, its value was close to that measured at room
temperature. 相似文献

The moisture absorption behavior and the influence of moisture on thermal and mechanical properties of glass–fiber/polyetherimide
(PEI) laminates have been investigated. The laminates were exposed to hydrothermal aging at two different temperatures and
high moisture rates. The properties of as-received and hydrothermally aged samples were compared. The hydrothermally aged
laminates contained a large amount of moisture which caused decrease in the glass transition temperature and deterioration
in mechanical properties (interlaminar shear strength, flexural modulus, bearing strength, etc.). Fractographic analysis revealed
interfacial debonding as the dominant failure mechanism, indicating a strong influence of water degradation on fracture toughness
results. Alterations in visco-elastic properties of glass/PEI composite which was exposed to hydrothermal aging were analyzed
with the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) method. DMTA tests give evidence of plasticization of the PEI matrix. 相似文献

Fracture behavior of the copolymers proposed as interlayer dielectric candidates is examined to find the adequate amount of bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane to methyltrimethoxysilane that can optimize mechanical properties. In spite of the shortcoming that provides a result for comparison purpose, the indentation test becomes a good alternative to estimate cohesive and adhesive fracture strength simultaneously. The scratch test can also be used to evaluate adhesive fracture strength. The similarity between the scratch test and the chemical mechanical planarization process may offer a clue for predicting the possibility of failure during fabrication procedure. The sequence of magnitude in critical loads measured from both tests corresponds with that of fracture toughness assessed by the modified edge lift-off test. 相似文献

A study is made of the connection between the fracture toughness of shock-resistant polymeric composites based on polycarbonate,
polybutyleneterephthalate, and an ABS-copolymer and parameters characterizing mechanical and electrical relaxation in the
region of local molecular mobility. A method is proposed for determining shock characteristicsa priori on the basis of the temperature-frequency dependences of the elastic modulus and mechanical loss modulus. The difference
between the theoretical and experimental values of fracture toughness, measured within a broad range of temperatures, is no
greater than 10–15%.

A diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin was modified with poly(ether ether ketone) with pendent methyl groups (PEEKM). PEEKM was synthesised from methyl hydroquinone and 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone and characterised. Blends of epoxy resin and PEEKM were prepared by melt blending. The blends were transparent in the uncured state and gave single composition dependent T
g. The T
g-composition behaviour of the uncured blends has been studied using Gordon–Taylor, Kelley–Bueche and Fox equations. The scanning electron micrographs of extracted fracture surfaces revealed that reaction induced phase separation occurred in the blends. Cocontinuous morphology was obtained in blends containing 15 phr PEEKM. Two glass transition peaks corresponding to epoxy rich and thermoplastic rich phases were observed in the dynamic mechanical spectrum of the blends. The crosslink density of the blends calculated from dynamic mechanical analysis was less than that of unmodified epoxy resin. The tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus were comparable to that of the unmodified epoxy resin. It was found from fracture toughness measurements that PEEKM is an effective toughener for DDS cured epoxy resin. Fifteen phr PEEKM having cocontinuous morphology exhibited maximum increase in fracture toughness. The increase in fracture toughness was due to crack path deflection, crack pinning, crack bridging by dispersed PEEKM and local plastic deformation of the matrix. The exceptional increase in fracture toughness of 15 phr blend was attributed to the cocontinuous morphology of the blend. Finally it was observed that the thermal stability of epoxy resin was not affected by the addition of PEEKM. 相似文献

LTI was attempted to modify the microstructure of poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and to improve its mechanical properties in this study. Bending modulus, strength and fracture toughness
of PLLA/LTI were evaluated, and compared to those of the base PLLA to assess the effectiveness of LTI blending. Effect of
LTI addition on fracture micromechanism was also investigated by observing and comparing the fracture surfaces of PLLA/LTI
and PLLA using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Experimental results showed that the bending properties
such as the bending modulus and the strength are effectively improved due to polymerization of PLLA molecules by LTI blending.
The fracture toughness value was also improved due to increase of ductile deformation, i.e., energy dissipation in the crack-tip
region. 相似文献

Wave-transparent materials used at high temperature environment generated by high supersonic and hypersonic speeds must possess
excellent mechanical property. In this paper, porous Si3N4 ceramics with high strength were fabricated by low molding pressure (10 MPa) and pressureless sintering process, without
any other pore forming agents. The sintering behavior and the effect of porosity on the mechanical strength and dielectric
properties were investigated. The flexural strength of porous Si3N4 ceramics was up to 57–176 MPa with porosity of 45–60%, dielectric constant of 2.35–3.39, and dielectric loss of 1.6–3.5 × 10−3 in the frequency range of 8–18 GHz, at room temperature. With the increase of porosity, the flexural strength, dielectric
constant, and dielectric loss all decreased. 相似文献

Green bodies of porous Si3N4 ceramics were shaped by extrusion technique using different organic additives as binder during extrusion molding. Different
porosity, microstructures and mechanical properties after the extrusion, drying, debinding and sintering stages were investigated.
The solid slurry content of 70–75% and extrusion pressure of 0.5–1.0 MPa had played a decisive role in the smooth realization
of extrusion molding. The porous Si3N4 ceramics were obtained with excellent properties using 4% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as binder and polyethylene
glycol (PEG) of molecular weight, 1000, as plasticizer with a density of 1.91 g cm−3, porosity of 41.70%, three-point bending strength of 166.53 ± 20 MPa, fracture toughness of 2.45 ± 0.2 MPa m1/2 and Weibull modulus (m) of 20.75. 相似文献

Composites were prepared by dispersing Alumina platelets of polygonal shape having a thickness of 200 nm and size of 5–10 μm
in epoxy (LY 556) matrix using sonication. Good dispersion of the platelets was observed through scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). The quasi-static plane-strain fracture toughness and tensile properties of the composites were determined for platelet
volume fraction varying from 0% to 10%. The results indicated that addition of the platelets give considerable improvement
in fracture toughness and good improvement in the elastic modulus of epoxy. For 10% volume fraction of the platelets, the
fracture toughness improved by 110% where as the improvement in elastic modulus was 78%. However there was an associated reduction
of 53% in tensile strength and 73% in failure strain. SEM of fractured surface was carried out to understand the various mechanisms
responsible for the improvement in fracture toughness. By appropriately accounting for the orientation and stacking effects
of the platelets, the applicability of predictive models, such as the Halpin-Tsai and Mori-Tanaka, for estimating the composite
modulus is demonstrated. 相似文献

Advanced transparent ceramics with high chemical and thermal stability are gaining increasing interest as replacement of glass-based
materials in technical window applications. The mechanical reliability and performance of transparent MgAl2O4 with a grain size of 5 μm has been characterized at ambient temperature using micro-mechanical indentation and macroscopic
bending tests. The measurements focused on elastic modulus, fracture toughness, crack kinetics, and strength, the latter analyzed
with Weibull statistics. The effect of slow crack growth is assessed using a strength–probability–time plot. Complementary
fractography by optical, confocal and scanning electron microscopy provided a correlation between failure origin and fracture
stress. The results and reliability aspects are discussed in terms of linear elastic fracture mechanics. 相似文献

The unidirectional boron nitride fibre reinforced boron nitride matrix (BNf/BN) composites were prepared via the precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) route, and the structure, composition, mechanical and dielectric properties were studied. The composites have a high content and fine crystallinity of BN. The density is 1.60 g cm−3 with a low open porosity of 4.66%. The composites display good mechanical properties with the average flexural strength, elastic modulus and fracture toughness being 53.8 MPa, 20.8 GPa and 6.88 MPa m1/2, respectively. Lots of long fibres pull-out from the fracture surface, suggesting a good fibre/matrix interface. As temperature increases, both of the flexural strength and elastic modulus exhibit a decreasing trend, with the lowest values being 36.2 MPa and 8.6 GPa at 1000 °C, respectively. The desirable residual ratios of the flexural strength and elastic modulus at 1000 °C are 67.3% and 41.3%, respectively. The composites have excellent dielectric properties, with the average dielectric constant and loss tangent being 3.07 and 0.0044 at 2-18 GHz, respectively. 相似文献

Polycrystalline beta-alumina ceramics containing yttria-doped zirconia particles have been produced by hot-pressing and “two-peak”
sintering schedules. With the former fabrication process, both a chemical reaction involving sodium metazirconate and α-alumina, and a direct mixing route were employed. The mechanical properties of the ceramics produced by the direct mixing
route were superior to those produced by the chemical route.
The maximum amount of tetragonal zirconia retention, and thus fracture toughness, obtained using direct mixing occurred for
additions of 4wt% yttria-doped zirconia. An increase of ∼ 124% in the fracture toughness was obtained compared with the pure
beta-alumina ceramic. Transfer of this fabrication route to a pressureless sintering schedule was less successful owing to
difficulties in attaining full densification. The increases in strength observed with introduction of second phase zirconia
could be attributed to an improvement in the degree of densification achieved, and the maximum increase in toughness was only
∼27%. 相似文献

In this study, a set of mechanical properties of geopolymers, synthesized by alkali (NaOH or KOH) activation of metakaolin
and SiO2 mixture, were characterized at ambient temperature. Samples with K/Al or Na/Al atomic ratios equal to 1, Si/Al atomic ratios
in the 1.25–2.5 range and H2O/Al2O3 molar ratios of 11 or 13 are cured at 80 °C for 24 and 48 h before characterization, to determine effect of Si/Al ratio and
curing time on the structure and mechanical properties of geopolymers. The structure of synthesized geopolymers characterized
using XRD, NMR, SEM, and density measurements was correlated to their mechanical properties, including compressive strength,
Young’s modulus, hardness, and fracture toughness. The results of this study suggest a strong effect of Si/Al ratios (in the
1.5–2 range), density, and microstructure on the maximum strength, Young’s modulus, and hardness of geopolymers. There were
also notable differences in strength between samples cured for 24 and 48 h, suggesting that the degree of geopolymerization
reaction also plays important role in mechanical properties of this new class of inorganic polymers. 相似文献

The dielectric, thermal and mechanical properties of CaO–SiO2–B2O3 ternary system ceramics by solid-phase method have been carried out and quantitive analysis been examined by X-ray diffraction
(XRD) patterns. The results showed that the major crystalline phase of CaO–SiO2–B2O3 ternary system ceramics was wollastonite (about 90 wt%) which existed at the temperature ranging from 950 to 1,100 °C. It
is also observed that wollastonite could be transformed to pseudowollastonite at 1,200 °C. In addition, with increase in calcination
temperature, the amount of wollastonite increases. When the sintering temperature is at 1,100 °C, the amount of wollastonite
has a maximum value of 92.7 wt%. Accordingly, CaO–SiO2–B2O3 ternary system ceramics achieved excellent properties at 1,100 °C, such as dielectric constant of 8.38, dielectric loss of
1.51 × 10−3 at 1 MHz, linear thermal-expansion coefficient (300 K) of 6.68 × 10−6/K, bending strength of 121.75 Mpa. Analysis of the mechanical and dielectric properties showed that the measured bending
strength, dielectric constant and loss of CaO–SiO2–B2O3 ternary system ceramics can be substantially modified and improved by controlling the sintering temperature, in particular
due to the amount of wollastonite crystalline phase and size of grains. 相似文献

Untreated and surface-treated SiO2 nanoparticles with different alkyl chain length (described as C0, 3C1, C8 and C16 according to the number of carbon atoms)
on particle surface were used as fillers for isotactic polypropylene (iPP). The iPP/SiO2 composites containing 2.3 vol% of nanoparticles were prepared by melt blending and injection moulding. The dispersion quality
of nanoparticles in matrix was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystallization behaviour of iPP was
examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The mechanical properties of all samples were characterized by tensile
test, compact tension (CT) test and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The particle–matrix interphase behaviour was
also examined and discussed. SEM images show that different silicas show different dispersion quality in matrix due to different
hydrophobicity. The crystallinity and spherulite size of matrix are overall decreased in composites. The tensile properties
of iPP/SiO2 composites show clear relationship with alkyl chain length on particle surface, i.e. increasing alkyl chain length leads
to decreased tensile modulus but increased tensile yield strength and strain, indicating increased interfacial interactions
with increased alkyl chain length. The 3C1-composite shows the highest fracture toughness with an improvement by 9% compared
to neat iPP, whereas the other composites show decreased values of fracture toughness. 相似文献

The major objective of this work is to understand the effects of attapulgite (AT) on the mechanical properties of polyacrylonitrile
(PAN)/AT nanocomposite film. The well dispersed but irregularly distributed AT nanoparticles in the matrix was observed by
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis spectra. The mechanical properties were investigated by means of tensile tests
and dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA). The results showed that the incorporation of AT significantly improved the tensile
strength and modulus of the PAN matrix. The fracture morphologies analysis has further suggested that small amount of AT nanorods
may slide and orient along the tensile direction, resulting in homogenous stress transfer, thus increase the toughness of
the PAN. However, the nanorods network formed in high AT content sample probably hindered the deformation of the matrix and
generated the stress concentration points, leading to the remarkable increase of embrittlement of the samples. Following this
concept, the volume of the constrained polymer chains was also calculated with DMA data and showed the good correlation with
conclusion drawn in the tensile tests. 相似文献

The flexural strength of gypsum is reported for freestanding single crystals in three-point bending carried with a nanoindenter.
The elastic modulus, splitting tensile strength, and fracture toughness of monolithic gypsum consisting of interlocking needle-like
microcrystals are also reported as functions of porosity and accelerator addition. This study shows that geometric configurations,
in addition to porosity, affect the mechanical properties of gypsum. The properties are improved by 50–100% when the crystal
network changes from needle aggregates to one made up of homogeneous randomly oriented single crystals. An Ashby geometric
model for open-cell foams is adopted to link the properties of the individual crystals and the bulk properties. The lower
and upper bounds of the measured elastic modulus are in accordance with bending-dominated behavior and stretch-dominated behavior
predicted by the model, respectively. However, the strength of gypsum is much lower than values predicted by the model, which
is based failure on fracture of individual crystals, suggesting that the strength of monolithic gypsum may be instead controlled
by the failure of weak intercrystalline contacts. 相似文献

Fractal dimension has been considered as a measure of fracture surface roughness of materials. Three-dimensional (3D) surface
analysis is anticipated to provide a better evaluation of fracture surface toughness and fractal dimension. The objective
of this study was to quantify the fracture surfaces and identify a potential relationship between fracture toughness and fractal
dimension in a new type of core–shell titanium–iron particulate reinforced hydroxyapatite matrix composites using SEM stereoscopy
coupled with a 3D surface analysis. The obtained results showed that both fracture surface roughness and fractal dimension
increased with increasing amount of core–shell Ti–Fe reinforcing particles. The fractal dimension was observed to be a direct
measure of fracture surface roughness. The fracture toughness of the composites increased linearly with the square root of
fractal dimensional increment (i.e., followed the Mecholsky–Mackin equation well) due to the presence of Ti–Fe particles along
with the effect of porosity in brittle materials. The 3D fractal analysis was suggested to be a proper tool for quantifying
the fracture surfaces and linking the microstructural parameter to fracture toughness. 相似文献
